Dershowitz: ‘I Would Like To See President Trump Become The Pardon President’

Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz applauded President Trump for commuting the sentence of Alice Marie Johnson on “Fox & Friends” Saturday morning, saying that in her case, justice had truly been served.

But he also challenged Trump’s critics to not allow their political biases to get in the way of seeing justice done. He explained:

I think that doesn’t serve the American public to have the media show such a bias, one striking example, when the president pardoned an African-American woman who has served an excessive sentence for a relatively minor crime, you would think that every liberal in the country would applaud that result. It was such a just result and when she got out, she handled it with such dignity and so wonderfully and, yet, he was criticized because he listened to a reality star who urged him to give the pardon. It was the right pardon to give.
